Amazon ECS Usage Reports

AWS provides a free reporting tool called Cost Explorer that enables you to analyze
the
cost and usage of your Amazon ECS resources.

Cost Explorer is a free tool that you can use to view charts of your usage and costs.
You
can view data from the last 13 months, and forecast how much you are likely to spend
for the
next three months. You can use Cost Explorer to see patterns in how much you spend
on AWS
resources over time, identify areas that need further inquiry, and see trends that
you can
use to understand your costs. You also can specify time ranges for the data, and view
time
data by day or by month.

The metering data in your Cost & Usage Report shows usage across all of your Amazon
ECS
tasks. The metering data includes vCPU-Hours and memory GB-Hours
for each task that was run. For tasks using the Fargate launch type, you will
also see the cost associated with those tasks. For tasks using the
EC2 launch type, the tasks will not have a cost associated with them, but
you can use the the vCPU and/or memory usage to allocate the cost of your underlying
cluster of Amazon EC2 instances. You can also use the Amazon ECS managed tags to identify
the service or cluster that each task belongs to. For more information, see Tagging Your Resources for Billing.

Important

The metering data is only viewable for tasks launched on or after November 16, 2018.
Tasks launched prior to this date will not show metering data.

Here's an example of some of the fields you can sort cost allocation data by when
using Cost Explorer:

Cluster name

Service name

Resource tags

Launch type

Region

Usage type
